instructions
Step 1. Get Your Heat Press Ready
Turn on your heat press. We recommend pressing all of our products at 385°F / 195°C. Be sure to lay a piece of protective paper on the bottom of the press.
Step 2. Prep Your Coaster
Remove any film that may be on the surface of the coaster. Film may be clear and can be difficult to see at first. Clean off the front of the coaster with a cleaning cloth, all-purpose cleaner, or a can of compressed air.
Step 3. Pair the Transfer with the Coaster
Lay the transfer down on a flat surface with the printed image facing up. Place the blank side of the coaster on top of the transfer and line it up. Take two pieces of heat tape and secure the coaster to the transfer.
Note: Depending on the size of your heat press, you can press multiple coasters at once.
Step 4. Let’s sublimate!
Place the transfer and coaster into the heat press with the transfer on top. Lay another piece of protective paper on top of the coaster. Confirm that the heat press is at the correct temperature. Pressing times are below.
Coasters, Raw Back: 60 – 70 seconds
Coasters, Cork Back: 60 – 70 seconds
Coasters, Premium Coasters: 60 – 70 seconds
Step 5. Remove Coaster From the Heat Press
Once the timer is done use heat-protective gloves to remove the coaster from the press. Let cool.
Enjoy your new coaster!
